8.2. Exposure controls

Protective equipment

Appropriate engineeringcontrols

Provide adequate ventilation. Personal, workplace environment or biological monitoring maybe required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/orthe necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Use process enclosures, local exhaustventilation or other engineering controls as the primary means to minimise worker exposure.Personal protective equipment should only be used if worker exposure cannot be controlledadequately by the engineering control measures. Ensure control measures are regularlyinspected and maintained. Ensure operatives are trained to minimise exposure.

Eye/face protection Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicateseye contact is possible. Personal protective equipment for eye and face protection shouldcomply with European Standard EN166. Wear tight-fitting, chemical splash goggles or faceshield. If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be required instead.

7/18


Congo

Hand protection Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn ifa risk assessment indicates skin contact is possible. The most suitable glove should bechosen in consultation with the glove supplier/manufacturer, who can provide informationabout the breakthrough time of the glove material. The breakthrough time for any glovematerial may be different for different glove manufacturers. To protect hands from chemicals,gloves should comply with European Standard EN374. Considering the data specified by theglove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are retaining their protective propertiesand change them as soon as any deterioration is detected. Frequent changes arerecommended. The choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled,and the conditions of work and use. When used with mixtures, the protection time of glovescannot be accurately estimated. Gloves made from the following material may providesuitable chemical protection: Nitrile rubber. Thickness: > 0.2 mm The selected gloves shouldhave a breakthrough time of at least 0.5 hours. Glove thickness is not necessarily a goodmeasure of glove resistance as the permeation rate will depend on the exact glovecomposition. Repeated exposure to chemicals will degrade the ability of the glove to provideresistance to chemicals. Specific work environments and material handling practices mayvary, therefore safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. Use thincotton gloves inside natural rubber gloves if there is an allergy risk to natural rubber.

Other skin and bodyprotection

Appropriate footwear and additional protective clothing complying with an approved standardshould be worn if a risk assessment indicates skin contamination is possible.

Hygiene measures Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Contaminated work clothing should not beallowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Clean equipmentand the work area every day. Good personal hygiene procedures should be implemented.Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Whenusing do not eat, drink or smoke. Preventive industrial medical examinations should be carriedout. Warn cleaning personnel of any hazardous properties of the product.

Respiratory protection Respiratory protection complying with an approved standard should be worn if a riskassessment indicates inhalation of contaminants is possible. Ensure all respiratory protectiveequipment is suitable for its intended use and is ‘CE’-marked. Check that the respirator fitstightly and the filter is changed regularly. Gas and combination filter cartridges should complywith European Standard EN14387. Full face mask respirators with replaceable filter cartridgesshould comply with European Standard EN136. Half mask and quarter mask respirators withreplaceable filter cartridges should comply with European Standard EN140.

Environmental exposurecontrols

Keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Emissions from ventilation or work processequipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmentalprotection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications tothe process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. Store in ademarcated bunded area to prevent release to drains and/or watercourses.
